Technorati to support OpenID
Technorati has announced that it will provide to users the possibility to claim their blogs by relying on OpenID identification mechanism. Essentially, claiming a blog establishes that you are its owner.
On OpenID-enabled sites, Internet users don't need to create and manage a new account for each of them before being granted access. Instead, they only need to be able to authenticate with a trusted site that supports OpenID, called the identity provider or i-broker. Also, if an identity provider uses Strong authentication, OpenID can be used for all types of transactions, included banking and e-commerce.
Such a move from a Web 2.0 player of the size of Technorati will indoubtedly give a strong impulse to the adoption of OpenID by other community-oriented companies.
